on UYS today

I'm out in the woods, enjoying time with my family with no phone. no computer. no work. no nothing - and I'm sure I'm loving it!

I scheduled this post for today since it's featured on the UYS blog - the challenge is to use scallops, stripes, and hand journal - LOVED this challenge!!!

THEN I can focus on Christmas!

animal crackers

seriously. what do they put in these things? I am addicted to them and bought a 4lb tub from Sam's club. Is there a 12 step program? Is there at least one health benefit to make me feel better? Could this be why I'm at a plateau on the weight loss?

HELP ME I CAN'T STOP EATING THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
